Set Moment to Trade?

[quantconnect]

Hello,

I would like to develop a strategy that will place a long position or a short position at a given moment, for example the long order is placed if the price goes 5 ticks in a row above the current price(like a trail, without going down), short order would be placed if the price goes 5 ticks in a row below current price(like a trail, without going up).

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Best regards,

Hello quantconnect,

Thank you for your post.

Below is a basic example of how to check the direction of the Tick bars added to your script:

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            CalculateOnBarClose = true;
			Add(PeriodType.Tick, 1);
        }

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			if (Closes[1][0] < Closes[1][1]
				&& Closes[1][1] < Closes[1][2]
				&& Closes[1][2] < Closes[1][3]
				&& Closes[1][3] < Closes[1][4])
			{
				Print("Tick moved down over the last 5 bars");
			}
        }

Thank you very much.

I have 2 other questions:

1)I use the Simulated Data Feed and I would like to see in some sort of log how much profit I make per trade but I don't find it. When I clic on "orders" it shows a lot of data about the orders but not the profits per order. It's the same with "executions" and "log" ,when I go to "account performance" nothing appears in its different sections.
The only places I can see how much money I make are in "strategies" and "accounts" but these are about all the trades together, there is also "positions" where i can see how much i make during the current trade but once the trade closes I can't go back to see how much i made on that trade.

So if I am not always in front of the screen, is there a way to see how much money every single trade makes?

2)Do you guys(and girls) know any Broker in Belgium(like SaxoBanx, Fortuneo, etc...) who uses or allows Ninja Trader Automated Trading?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
